you should read Rising Stars.

It's a graphic novel series (think looooong comic book) by the guy who wrote Babylon 5.

Anyhoo, I'm not going into a long explanation of how these people got their powers but... some of them had seemingly useless powers... like this one girl who could move things with her mind... but only very small things.

Useless eh? Well the CIA didn't think so. They recruited her as an assassin... cos what's smaller than the lil nerve/vessel/whatever that gives oxygen to the brain? ::grin:: One lil pinch to that thing and no one would Ever suspect she'd done anything ::grin::

You should read this thing. I think there are 3 trade paperbacks out there and at least one of em was turned into a novel cos they were planning on making a movie out of it... haven't heard anything about plans for the movie in years though so I'm thinking this brilliant story might have gotten scrapped movie-wise.
